Wow Words Award
Wow words are collected from reading across all subjects. Children are rewarded when they either say or write a wow word. Examples include:
- Obedient
- Dehydrated
- Frustrated
- Glamorous
- Opaque
- Inquisitive
Homework Award
All Homework is differentiated (changed to suit the needs of your child). Children who have taken a particularly conscientious attitude and achieved the ‘Can I …’ (learning objective) may be rewarded with the Homework certificate. Homework is linked closely to learning in school and gives parents/carers an insight to what their child is expected to learn in and out of school.
Golden Broom
Adults actively encourage children to take pride in their school. Mr Crowther, our caretaker and Miss Firby, our cleaner, decide who should receive the Golden Broom each week.
Golden Tickets
Throughout the week, children are rewarded with ‘Golden Tickets.’ These tickets are collected together and one is pulled out from the box during our Celebration Assembly. The more tickets you receive, the better chance you have of winning a prize!
Lunchtime Rainbow
Mrs Dowson and Mrs Hewitt have created a chart to reward excellent lunchtime manners, teamwork and respectful behaviour between children and adults. Each table has a number ‘raindrop’ which travels over a rainbow to reach the pot of ‘Golden Tickets.’ Be first to reach the pot of golden tickets and each child receives 2 golden tickets each!
